I know you say that you don`t actually notice any heat as such - your hands just stay `comfortable` which is fair enough - but how would these gloves perform in a less arduous, non-flying environment such as just (walking) outside in sub-zero temps - would you feel warmth then?
I have heated gear on my motorcycle (home-made vest and insoles) and i know just how much power is required to actually feel any heat in gloves - about 25W, and that power is backed up by a 14Ah lead-acid topped up by a 250W alternator!
I`m the first to admit i don`t know anything about these new-fangled LiPo`s but i`m just struggling to see how those tiny batteries can provide enough juice, unless they are the rechargeable battery equivalent of a nuclear reactor!
At the end of the day though, if the Blazewears stop hands getting cold enough to be a painful distraction then all is good - flying is to be enjoyed, not endured!!

Hi Steve,
Nice review, thanks for taking the time.
